ACTRESS Madelyn Cline rose to popularity on the Netflix show Outer Banks.
The 23-year-old also starred in various commercials prior to landing the role of Sarah Cameron on the Netflix series.
Madelyn Cline attended Coastal Carolina University prior to relocating to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
She dished to Glamour magazine about making the switch from school to acting, saying: “So, I called my mom and said, ‘Hey, are you sitting down?’ And I told her, ‘You know what? I know this is what you guys want me to do, but it’s not what I want to do, so I’m going to drop out and I’m going to move out to LA and I don’t need help, but I just would wish for your support.’
Adding: “And she just said, ‘All right, I’ll handle your dad.’”
Prior to attending Coastal Carolina University, Cline was a student at Charleston Day School and Pinewood Preparatory School.
Cline is an actress and model.
She hails from Goose Creek, South Carolina, growing up near Charleston.
The actress spent her summers visiting New York City and starring in commercials for T-Mobile and Sunny D.
When she dropped out of college in 2017 she got her start in TV with small roles playing Chloe in Boy Erased and Taylor Watts in Vice Principals.
Cline also starred in recurring episodes of The Originals and Stranger Things.
In 2018 she landed her first major role in Netflix’s Outer Banks, which premiered two years later.
Cline has been in a relationship with her Outer Banks co-star Chase Strokes since April of 2020.
The pair are on-screen lovers in the series and celebrated their one-year anniversary this year.
She dedicated a post to Strokes on Instagram, writing: “Thanks for helping me keep track of my belongings for a whole year (: adore u.”
Strokes shared his own photo for the occasion, captioning the post: “365 w/ u 
,” with Cline commenting: “And I’d do it again.”
The actor revealed to Us Weekly that his relationship with Cline did not really take off until after they finished filming Outer Banks and they were in quarantine.
Strokes said: “At that point in time, we were so anxious about the show and so nervous about constantly screwing up.
“I think we were all under this sort of strange umbrella of, like, ‘Dear God, we got an opportunity.
“Let’s not screw it up!’ So, it was just always work-oriented—really until the day we wrapped.
“It wasn’t until after that, until we started to kind of get into the lockdown where we were like, ‘Is there something here or am I crazy?” That’s sort of where it bloomed from there.
Adding: “I think we were just so invested in the work.”
